She published Passionate Detachments: Technologies of Vision and Violence in American Cinema, 1967–1974, with SUNY Press in 2017. Her work on technology and media ecology has also appeared in Cinema Journal, Quarterly Review of Film & Video, Films for the Feminist Classroom, and the collection Sustainable Media.
